 IS ln many respects a great oouutrv
 There IS much more of it than I exnact-
 ed, That Is, there Is more good land mere
 water, higher state Oi cultivation md
 fewer lndians-.he fewer of these tbe
 better Ior Ge. lO fact. out Of all my ac. l Gnslntauccs, do not know of one who
 mas iost aEy Indians, and there is some
 Iurh!ng pre!udlce which the average | Wh!te man has to meeting and miuelip0
 ID close friendship with these painted
 braves. do not even desire tO be on l speakihg terms with them, and in ny !AdRtnont, tiis prcludiCe which has Po

 1 suppose that many of the readers of the Mercury look upon Arizona as q
 wild country, filed with dcsperadoes and lodlans, and where laws are not needed
 or are unhsard oL This is lot the case at all S@e has G very pescesbIe and
